My worry is that the 433 formation seems to bring the best out of strikers.
Preston hopefully was a one off anyway, but Simms seemed to disappear when we went to two up front in the second half imo, and Wright is definitely more suited to that wide role.
Godden could however be more suited to the 3 at the back...
Not a problem is it really , and partly a necessity
Godden plays better in a 2, Simms makes the sort of runs that suit a 2 striker formation.
I dont see any issues and was suggesting it after last night.
If we’re going 3ATB:
Collins
Thomas Latibeaudiere Kitching
MvE Eccles Torp Dasilva
O’Hare
Wright Simms
But I don’t like that front line.

5/3/2 then
Collins/Wilson
MVE
Thomas
Kitching
Binks
Bidwell
Kelly
Torp
O hare
Simms
Wright
He played on till half time and was on the pitch afterwards so hopefully he’s good for Friday
If we do play the box there is less of a need for him to start though compared to a 4/3/3
I’d just play o hare and Palmer behind simms and have wright on the bench to come on after 60/65
If we're going wingbacks I'd rather go with box, but without an Allen type player to make those selfless runs beyond the striker it's not going to work, so will need to go 2 up top.

I’m not against it tbh. We can’t rely on taveres and godden. Let be difficult to beat again and we have the o hare magic we didn’t before earlier this season
All these formations just confuse me, frankly. I want Collins and Bidwell in and wright and Simms both playing.
As we have gone from top of the class for clean sheets to bang average, maybe we need three at the back
Last season Palmer excelled as the main man in the middle, I bit of an ego thing. He was in that role last night against mediocre opposition. I would like to see him there again rather than on the flank. It's time for him to show he is not just a flat track bully.

Yeah, I don’t see why you can’t have something like this or Simms central with palmer/Eccles (if Kelly sits) and wright wider. Only concern is covering back from palmer and wright
Wing back system has a better chance of working with Torp in the side but even with him in there I’d be concerned about it turning into a super stodgy back 7.
I'm trying to remember when we last won at at WBA. I remember being at a game there once when we scored first I think
As it’s on topic….I went to the FA Cup Quarter final match at WBA in 1982. A certain Mr Regis did us over !
Preston, Swansea, Hull and WBA. Teams we never seem to do well against in recent times. We suffered defeats to WBA at home in the last two seasons due to bad officials decisions, although we may have lost anyway this season. I fully expect a loss and a meltdown on here. Injuries catching up with us. Draw or win and we are back maybe. However, my last predicted loss was Middlesborough away.
We beat them in the cup around 1996 time. Ndoluv scored a late winner. It was a night game
